In this review, we'll explore the how the Teen Again Day Cream performs against the PPQRS rating scale:
Price: I bought it at Winners for $9.99 for 50mLs which equates to $0.20/mL. From other retailers like Yesstyle, the price hovers around $19-20.
Packaging: I love the pump packaging of the Teen Again line of products. The product is dispensed by pushing on the top, which then dispenses the adequate amount per use. It is hygienic, and doesn't leave the lid messy with the product
Quality: It has a very light, smooth consistency which is perfect as a day cream, as marketed. It kept my skin feeling moisturized until the end of the day, which was quite surprising given how light the texture felt in the morning. It does not dry with a sticky feeling on the skin, which makes it great to layer on sunscreen and makeup over top.
Results: This product lasted me about 3 months, and I noticed a difference in the smoothness of my skin. I have dry-combination skin, and using it in the summer helped my skin feel hydrated yet breathable. I did not notice any increased breakouts or sensitivities while using it.
Safety:
Butylene Glycol: A humectant that attracts moisture to the skin. Considered safe, though it may cause irritation in sensitive individuals at high concentrations.
Glycerin: Another humectant, effective for hydrating the skin. It's safe and widely used.
Cyclopentasiloxane & Cyclohexasiloxane: Silicones that helps smooth the skin. It's safe and non-comedogenic, meaning it doesn't clog pores.
1,2-Hexanediol: Used as a preservative and humectant, it is generally safe and non-irritating.
Betaine: A natural moisturizer that helps the skin retain water, safe for most users.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Known for its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to improve skin elasticity. Safe and beneficial for most skin types.
Cetyl Ethylhexanoate: An emollient that provides a smooth feel to the skin, typically considered safe.
Hydrolyzed Collagen: Helps retain moisture and improve skin elasticity. Safe but does not penetrate deep layers due to its large molecular structure.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8: Known as Argireline, it’s a peptide that helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles
Adenosine: A cell-communicating ingredient with anti-aging benefits. It's safe and helps with wound healing and skin smoothing.
Panthenol: A form of Vitamin B5, known for its soothing and moisturizing properties. Safe and beneficial, especially for dry skin.
Sodium Hyaluronate: The salt form of hyaluronic acid, it provides deep hydration and is safe for all skin types.
Ethylhexylglycerin: A preservative and skin-conditioning agent that enhances the efficacy of other preservatives. Safe for most people.
Overall rating: 4/5: LOOKATME's Teen Again Day Cream is a solid find. I was impressed with the quality of the formulation at its price point, and the packaging is so darn cute! Where I would say it lost points is that I didn't truly see a significant different in wrinkles or the elasticity of my skin. Despite this, I'm definitely interested in trying the other products in their Teen Again line.
